To Keep Cracks From Forming - Week 1 (Trust)

April 7, 2024 • John Scally • Joshua 7

Give

It’s been said that trust takes years to build, seconds to break, and forever to repair. Trust is a foundational commitment that should be like muscle memory to us. In other words, it should be such a given that we default to it on every occasion. Learn to be honest in the “little” as well as the “big” things. Always, always, always live in the truth!

Underrated Effectiveness Absolute - Week 4 (Discipline)

April 28, 2024 • John Scally • Hebrews 12:4–11

We choose comfort over challenging in almost all cases, but what if challenging is where growth is born? One of the most important and defining characteristics of humble discipleship is effective discipline. In other words, being stretched outside of our comfort zones, being pushed into a painful process, and being stripped of everything that makes us complacent is the key. When it gets down to it, discipline is a major part of development.

When You Don't Feel It - Week 2 (Forgiveness)

April 14, 2024 • John Scally • Matthew 5:43–48

Forgiveness is never to be conditional to us. It is not based on the depth of the grievance. It is not based on “who did what.” It is based on recognizing and embracing “whose” we are, seeing what he was willing to do as the perfect example for us to follow. Learn to forgive your spouse. Learn to forgive your parents. Learn to forgive your co-worker. Learn to forgive as a test of your maturity in Jesus Christ!

Family Equals Joyful Surrender - Week 3 (Sacrifice)

April 21, 2024 • Ruth 2, Ruth 3, Ruth 4, Ruth 1

When you became a husband or wife, a lot changed. When you became a father or mother, a lot changed. Too many men continue to live in “bachelor status” after getting married looking to take advantage or ignore their wives. Too many women live is “brat status” after getting married indulging their desires as their kids’ needs are not being met. How are we truly sacrificing our time, talents, and treasures for our family? If you cannot think of practical sacrifices that you are presently making for your kids, you most likely are living in selfish immaturity. You are called by God to sacrificially invest in your family which means that there will be people, promotions, experiences, and so much more that you will have to either say “no” to or “wait” for now!
